Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

If you picked up a paper in the last week or so, you probably got the impression that George Bush spent a year demanding an Iraqi invasion based on claims that Saddam had reconstituted nuclear weapons with uranium bought in Niger. But now that the war is over, we’ve found out that it was all […]
As a party, the GOP does a lousy job of reaching out to black voters. Maybe we run a few commercials here & there or the President gives a speech at the National Urban League and we go, “See? We made the effort. 90% of the black vote is going to go to the Democrats […]
If you were trying to come up with the most atrocious candidate imaginable to go toe-to-toe with Barack Obama in 2012, you couldn’t do much better than Mitt Romney. He was an unpopular moderate governor who lost 2 out of the 3 major elections he’s run in and whose signature issue Romneycare is an enormous […]
With all the talk about “disparities” in innumerable contexts, there is one very important disparity that gets remarkably little attention — disparities in the ability to create wealth. People who are preoccupied, or even obsessed, with disparities in income are seldom interested much, or at all, in the disparities in the ability to create wealth, […]
In my previous two columns, I outlined the 10 questions we need to ask to find our next president. I believe them wholeheartedly, but I have one last question that is almost as important as all of them combined. And it is for all the GOP candidates. During former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s November trip […]
Mark Levin’s hard work in researching, organizing and writing his new book, “Ameritopia,” will be a blessing for all who read it. Countless books chronicle the forward march of the liberal agenda and attempt to deconstruct the fallacies in modern leftist thinking. Many critique the statist policies the left has imposed on us the past […]
Fox ran the debate last night and aside from Juan Williams’ race-baiting, the questions were fairly good although it’s disappointing that we can’t ever seem to get any questions about Fast and Furious or the TSA. Additionally, because there were only 5 candidates, the people on the stage had a lot more time to respond. […]
The funny thing about Jon Huntsman was that since he was the governor of Utah, he had a fairly conservative record of governance. Although it wasn’t rock-ribbed as say, Rick Perry’s record, he certainly was considerably more conservative than say Mitt Romney. Given the nature of the race, where the field has desperately been searching […]
While most attention is focused on the presidential race and Republican hopes to oust President Obama from office, some significant steps were taken last week on issues dear to the hearts of conservatives. In Texas, a federal appeals court upheld the state’s sonogram law, which requires that women seeking abortions view a picture of their […]
An interesting article from Philly.com Paul is in party of Lincoln, but rejects what he stood for Can Ron Paul make Abe Lincoln a villain – in the Party of Lincoln? Why would he try in the first place? And who would help him? In all the attention that has surrounded the presidential candidacy of […]
If Republicans want to stand out from Democrats on social issues, then we have to find ways to make our pro-family, pro-marriage, pro-child positions resonate with the public at large. For example, on the pro-life issue, we should not be focused on outright bans on abortion, but instead on incremental measures to restrict abortion accessibility. […]
If you want to see a perfect example of how the left-wing media plans to smear and destroy Mitt Romney should he win the GOP nomination, no better example can be found than the hoax over a photo that lefties every where are trying to sell as evidence of Romney’s “privileged” life. Lefties say the […]
It is more common everyday. A man buys a house, the market collapses and suddenly his house is worth less than the mortgage, then he loses his job until, as a single father, he finds himself in foreclosure with no place to raise his two preteen daughters. It’s a case made for the Occupy Wall […]
Liberals have never much cared for the rule of law. When they can’t get liberal judges to subvert the law, they feel justified in violating it in any way they please. Then, all too often, if there are liberals in power, they turn a blind eye to people who break the law as long as […]
Of course, since so many liberals and liberal companies have already received waivers, it wouldn’t mean all that much to themselves (Politico) Think the Supreme Court is where the future of President Barack Obama’s health care law will be settled? Think again. The real verdict on the future of Obama’s signature achievement will come in […]
Well, this is a surprise, he ran such a great campaign, what with him following the tried and true primary season plan where the candidate panders to independents and moderates….what’s that? They are supposed to pander to the base? Well, darn. Well, at least he went and attacked President Obama….huh? He said in his running […]
I generally prefer to stay away from the fuzzy “Social Conservative” issues because they’re often so subjective & personal to most people that it’s difficult to change minds. Moreover, I’d probably qualify as a “tweener” when it comes to Social Conservatism. I’m more Socially Conservative than the average person, but I’m not in the same […]
Some people are annoyed by crying babies in a movie theater, people driving under the speed limit in the passing lane, any movie with Pauly Shore in it — you know, normal stuff. While all those things irritate me too, I get more perturbed with some of the things the mainstream media does on a […]
There are a lot of people in America, mainly on the left, who have a great love of international institutions, coalitions, and who crave approval from the rest of the world for every action our nation takes. Now don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with cooperating with other nations or taking help from countries […]
Here are few generalities about American politics that I believe to be the case. They’re not always true, but they’re good rules of thumb to keep in mind. — Don’t ever expect a conservative to get an even break from the mainstream media. — To the mainstream media and the left, every war is Vietnam. […]
Of course President Obama is not concentrating on campaigning, White House press spokesmen assured us — as the president headed off to Chicago for three fundraisers and a drop-in at his campaign headquarters, two days after a high-roller fundraising choked off traffic five blocks from the White House, with the assistance of a score of […]
The left-wing idea that it’s good for government to always wildly increase spending is dying a quick death these days. But this good sense has not made it to every state in the union yet — two disastrous states in particular; California and Illinois. These two states have not learned the lesson about the ruinous […]
In the last hundred years, only FDR and JFK have enjoyed the type of overwhelming support that George Bush has received since Sept. 11th. The majority of the American public seems not only to trust him, but to genuinely like him. That’s a very rare thing for a politician, which is why it’s unconscionable that […]
Under the best of circumstances, liberals do not tend to be logical or realistic about much of anything except their chances of electing more liberals. But since 9/11, the left has gotten progressively crazier and more hysterical almost by the week. How big has the reality disconnect gotten? Bartcop’s Political Humor, a web site that […]
The possible negative consequences of an Iraqi invasion have been discussed ad nauseum in recent months. We’ve been told that hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians could die, many Americans will die in street to street fighting, that the risk of terrorism will be increased, that our attacks on Iraq will increase the chances of […]

Saturday, the White House responded to two petitions asking that SOPA and PIPA be killed as legislation Right now, Congress is debating a few pieces of legislation concerning the very real issue of online piracy, including the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), the PROTECT IP Act, and the Online Protection and Digital ENforcement Act (OPEN).

Iraq1) Is this a rush to war?: Not at all. We’re working on the 19th UN Resolution since the Gulf War related to Iraqi disarmament. Furthermore, Bush has been talking about Iraq for more than a year. You could even go back to Bush’s: speech: nine days after 9/11 in which he said, “And we will pursue nations […]
